Immature broadbeans behave like a green vegetable, not a dry pulse. Per 100 g: 62 kcal and 10.1 g carbs. A 49-RCT meta-analysis (Morton et al., Br J Sports Med 2018) places protein for muscle at 1.6 g/kg/day. A note: people with G6PD deficiency should avoid favas entirely (favism). Salted boiling adds 277 mg sodium per 100 g.
How should I track Broadbeans, immature seeds, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt?
For consistent tracking of Broadbeans, immature seeds, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt, weigh it raw. Cooking method changes both weight and calorie density — steaming barely changes anything, but roasting with oil or frying can double the calories. A systematic review (Whitton et al., Adv Nutr 2022) found vegetables are omitted from food logs 2–85% of the time, often because people assume they are "free" calorically. While most vegetables are indeed low-calorie, the fats added during cooking are not. Log the oil, butter, or dressing separately to keep your tracking accurate.
